Friday August 3rd It happened again tonight. The old fool had left the door unlocked; and there, above the cages, some apparently empty and some housing pink-eyed rodents; stood the vessel containing the precious green liquid and marked with the words: “NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION” once more, at my disposal. Thanks to yesterday’s acquisition of a rather splendid pocketwatch, I have been able to establish that administration of about 2floz of the serum is sufficient to remain effective for approximately two hours. I have thus resolved that, weather permitting, tomorrow’s edification will begin with the short trip into town whereupon I will partake in what will no doubt be another fruitful bout of “shopping”, after which with any luck, there will be ample time for a spot of inexpensive dining followed by a close inspection of the ample figures belonging to those delightful ladies up there at Pedlar’s Lane bathhouse, whom I understand,usually prefer to keep themselves hidden away from prying eyes. Dash it… Awfully sorry ladies!

June 26th How excited I am! Tomorrow is my birthday, and my sisters have told me that Papa will be arriving first thing, and that he has a very special treat in store for me. Naturally since learning of this, I have been at pains to discover what awaits me. Yet to my utter dismay, when I try to interrogate my sisters , they will only say that they are sworn to secrecy, then glance at one another and burst into infuriating giggles. I feel that if I am to succeed in my endeavour to extract the necessary information before morning, I must first get to each of them separately, then use all the cunning and ingenuity inherited from my beloved father. What springs immediately to mind, is to adopt the guile of one of Nature’s predators and pursue the weaker of the pack. Knowing as I do of Audrey’s great fondness for fruit bonbons, I shall arm myself with said items, and make my way to her bedchamber this very evening. Let us see how long her lips remain sealed when such delightful confection is offered in exchange for her secrets!

Medicine
by edwardfishSo when I hurt you does it play on your mind? / Oh do those lacerations tingle with spite?
Like so many others, in my younger days I had an idea that i might be able to use words and music to spew my angst out onto the world. My best friend, who had similar ideas was at this time away studying, but would from time to time send me lyrics to work on or maybe to build some semblance of a tune around. This continued for quite a number of years, but again like so many others, the words we wrote rarely went beyond the rooms they were written in. Eventually we began to give eachother single words or phrases where the challenge was to create something semi coherent around that word or phrase. The phrase I was given to include in this piece of writing was “Elementary my dear Watson”. I should apologise for any possibly mysogynistic sounding content, for the fear of being painted in a bad light but in my defence, i had just come out of a long term relationship and was just a tad disappointed by how I had been treated!
